Why are so many spiritual failures?
| Luke 22:32 |
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not:
and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. |
Modern preaching has produced the modern spiritual
failure that we see in the churches today. Failures are not ready-made; they
are the product of the teaching that we have had or the absence of the right
teaching. And now so many prefer to listen to nice words coming from a man, and
are not interested in the sound doctrines that come from the Bible. In fact many
pastors are no pastors anymore, but merely entertainers of people who like
their show.
I am convinced that most people will come to the level of the Father's purpose
if they know how. The spiritual failure I am talking about is one who is born of
God, but who has never developed, who has remained in an infant state through
many years, because of malnutrition.

They feed upon the theories of men rather than upon the
Word of God. |
|
They have lived in the realm of sense knowledge, rather
than in the realm of the Word of God. |
|
They are ever praying for faith, not realizing that all
things belong to them; that He has blessed them with every spiritual
blessing in the heavenlies in Christ;" and that at the very beginning
God marked us out for the position of sons and daughters through Jesus
Christ unto Himself. (Eph. 1:3-4). |
You see, the purpose of the Father was healthy, vigorous
children. Can you conceive of an intelligent earthly parent that wishes to give
birth to children that will be sickly, half-witted, deformed creatures?
Why, the thing doesn't sound reasonable.
And do you think the Heavenly Father takes pleasure in having us sick, mentally,
physically, and spiritually? Do you think Jesus likes to contemplate the number
of Christians that are in hospitals, undergoing hideous operations and going
through the torture of the damned?
